Humans are, as it were, hard-wired to respond to good things with praise and admiration. We have a built-in need to tell other people about what we admire. “I found this great restau-rant.” “Have you seen this movie?” “Have you met this wonderful person I know?” Since God is by far the best there is, we humans find our fulfill-ment in expressing our love, wonder
and admiration for God.
As a vital part of our thriving in God‟s grace, we meet regularly to offer our-selves anew to God and to receive blessings from him. In particular we meet on Sunday morning to worship God. He is the audience; we all are
the ones who offer our hearts to him.
There is a horizontal element to wor-ship. We belong together, and each one of us has gifts that are a blessing to all. Our worship is a sign of our oneness in Christ. Worship is vertical too, as we join our voices and hearts to tell God how we love him and offer ourselves anew to him. We receive from Him in the message, in the pray-ers, in our monthly Holy Communion. Just as the cross has a horizontal and a vertical beam, our worship ties us together to one another and draws us closer to God. Worship is also a way we welcome people into the family of God. when they see how we admire
God, they appreciate him as well.
Music has always been the way God‟s people tell God how they love
him. As soon as the Israelites es-caped from Egypt and became the people of God they sang together on the shores of the Red Sea, “I will sing
to the Lord, for He is highly exalted. … The LORD is my strength and my song. He has become my salvation. He is my God and I will praise
him.” (Exodus 15:1-2)
Paul tells us to „be filled with the Spir-it. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the
Lord.‟ (Ephesians 5:18-19)
As we at IPC search for a new music director, now that Jonathan Fadner has left us, please pray for God‟s wis-dom for the search team. Pray that God lead us to someone who can di-rect our hearts and minds to help us find the freedom to express the love
we have for him.
Yours in the Love of Christ,
Pastor Michael

SPECIAL 125th ANNIVERSARY PROGRAM AND DINNER SPECIAL 125th ANNIVERSARY PROGRAM AND DINNER –– Mary WolfeMary Wolfe
Reserve October 8, 2011 on your calendars for a special tribute to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of IPC. Plans have been finalized for a very special program that will review our history and teach about “Things I Remember” from former and current members. Prepare yourself to be challenged
with the message “Honor the Past, Embrace the Future.” There will also
be special music and congregational singing.
The event is set to begin at 3:30 p.m. in the IPC sanctuary. Following the program, a catered dinner will be served in the Social Hall. Reser-vations are required and limited. The deadline for reserving a dinner space is September 29. The $5 per dinner charge may be paid directly to Mary Wolfe after worship on Sunday, September 25. You may also
pay at the church office. Please make your reservations early.
FUND DRIVE ESTABLISHED FOR INSTALLING OUR BELLFUND DRIVE ESTABLISHED FOR INSTALLING OUR BELL–– Mary WolfeMary Wolfe
After some research, it was discovered that our church bell was installed in the bell tower of “The Little White Church” in 1896. This sets the age of the bell at 115 years. Efforts are underway to mount the bell (probably above the choir room)
and have it operational this year.
A special “Let the Bell Ring Again Offering” will be a part of our 125th anniversary program. The estimated cost to reactivate our beautiful, bronze, 500 lb. bell and have it installed is about $4,000. Your prayerful donations to help us cover this cost would be greatly appreciated.
Please mark your donation, “Let the Bell Ring Again Program”.
Six of our Deacons were present at the Board of Deacons meeting held in the McKowen Room on Tuesday, September 20 at 7:00 pm. Several Deacons were ill and, therefore, unable to attend.
Ron Fong, Clerk of Session, sat in for Pastor Michael who was on vacation.
After opening with prayer and a devotional given by Geraldine Hoyt, the minutes of the August 16
Deacons‟ meeting and August 25 Board of Elders meeting were reviewed and approved.
Communion and Coffee assignments were reviewed and assigned.
Especially noteworthy in the several items of business that were addressed, was the assignment of
new members, Nick Look and Mindy Chin to Deacon Karen Jaycox‟s Parish #2.
Joys and concerns were shared and the meeting was closed with prayer.
For information about, or to identify your assigned Deacon, call the church office at
510-657-3133 or Moderator, June Dawson, at 510-656-2277. Please call your Deacon if you have a
concern or need.

Caroline Kurtz to Visit IPC October 23Caroline Kurtz to Visit IPC October 23——Tim Stachowiak Tim Stachowiak (editorial update)(editorial update)
Caroline Kurtz is an Associate Director of the Presbyterian Frontier Fellowship (PFF), a "Validated
Mission Support Group" of PCUSA, dedicated to advancing faith in Jesus among the unreached or
sparsely reached peoples of the world. Caroline will first preach during our Sunday Worship and
then present her ministry‟s work during an Ethiopian-themed luncheon in the Social Hall following
worship. Luncheon is $5 per person and you can sign up during social hour beginning October 9.
Much of Caroline‟s efforts are focused on the growth in Christian spiritual development among the
peoples of southwestern Ethiopia. Caroline and PFF also work with Light
of Hope Ministries to deliver Christ's saving message among the Arssi
Oromo people. Your generous donations have helped IPC fund Caroline
as well as the Light of Hope Ministry that she supports. On September
25, IPC congregation enjoyed a video of Arssi Oromo Christians, singing
worship songs written in their own language. IPC is excited to partner
with Caroline. We look forward to her visit and hearing about her work.
MISSIONS UPDATE OUR NEW MISSIONARIESOUR NEW MISSIONARIES——Patti BoylandPatti Boyland
David and Sara T. are a new addition to IPC‟s missionary family. On August 21, we were blessed by
their visit to IPC. During the worship hour, they showed a film about their work among an un-
reached Muslim people in Asia. Sarah and David work with a group whose members are unable to
freely practice their chosen faith or show their love for Jesus Christ.
After worship, the IPC Missions Team hosted a luncheon for Sarah, David and their four young chil-
dren. They, in turn, shared with the congregation, their activities in community development and
teaching about the love of Jesus. Their ability to embrace a deep-rooted Muslim culture and present
the gospel within the framework of this culture is remarkable. Excellent presentations by both Sara
and David were well received with lots of good questions and positive feedback from the more than
50 people who were in attendance.
David and Sara are in the States now on furlough and will return in November to the remote area in
Asia where they have been living for about ten years. Even though their work is very challenging, it
is evident that they really enjoy sharing the word of Christ. They are enjoying their stateside visit;
and at the same time, are enthusiastically looking forward to getting back to their village to continue
their ministry.
It was a good opportunity to hear first hand of such frontier mission work. The IPC Missions Team is
pleased that we are now helping support several missionaries involved in sharing the gospel among
people who have never had a church in their culture.
Note: We are unable to show pictures or specify the location of this ministry because of the sensitive nature of David
and Sara T’s work. Please continue to pray for their continued success.

Installing The BellInstalling The Bell
Of the six possible locations to hang the 115
year old IPC bell, the most esthetically pleasing
and appealing is to mount the bell on the roof of
the choir room. A feasibility/design study with

A wonderful weekend was enjoyed by our group
at Pastor Michael‟s house, “Cupcake”, located in
Yosemite. The highlights of the trip were swim-
ming a natural river and spending some time
in the Yosemite National Park. The group
basked in fellowship and camaraderie. During
our stay at Yosemite, a student made a deci-
sion to accept the LORD! God truly knows the
right time and place for his children to commit
to him.

Jonathan Fadner, our Music Director, left on
September 25, after 3 years of service. We are
deeply grateful for his leadership and dedication
to our music programs and saddened by his de-
parture. On the positive side we are delighted
that Jonathan has accepted an expanded role in
music at the Berkeley Playhouse that requires
his full time commitment.

Ministry at HirschMinistry at Hirsch——Jeanette OllisonJeanette Ollison
Mrs. Casey gave us the very encouraging
news that students‟ test scores have improved
from 780 to 910 in the Academic Performance
Index during the past 7 years. She attributes
the improvement in part to the institution of the
Homework Club, which IPC has been leading
on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons for the
past 6 Years and to Kids Club, run by IPC and
Harbor Light for the past 3 years. The Fremont
School District has noted this improvement and
has given Kids Club free rental of the facility at
the school. We give God glory for what He has
done for these children now and for eternity!
Hymn FestHymn Fest
One of the recommendations from the Music
Committee of the Worship Task Force is to con-
duct a Hymn Fest. This would allow the congre-
gation to recommend Hymns and Songs that
they would like included in Sunday Worship.
Forms will be distributed on Sunday October 16
and 23. The forms will be collected after worship
and tabulated by October 30. The results will be
given to the Music Director, Pastor Michael and
the worship committee for inclusion in worship.
This is your opportunity to recommend Hymns
and Songs that you want to be part of your Sun-
day Worship experience at IPC.
Worship Task ForceWorship Task Force
This Task Force had five meetings: August 17,
24, 31 and September 7 and 14. The goal of the
task force was to recommend changes that will
enhance our worship experience. The meetings
were moderated by Rev. Doug Stevens. The
many recommendations to enhance the worship
experience were grouped into 3 categories:
Worship, Music and Presentation, each having a
committee of volunteers who will meet to refine
and flush out targets and schedules.
Each committee has a leader and will present its
recommendations to session on 9/29 or the
Worship Committee for action. The Music and
Presentation Committees will then dissolve and
the Worship Committee will continue to function
as a major contributor in planning and enhancing
our worship experience.
Members of the Presentation and Music Commit-
tees as well as from the congregation should feel
free to be part of this Worship Committee to help
insure its success.

The Hirsch Homework Club The Hirsch Homework Club -- Jeanette OllisonJeanette Ollison
The Homework Club is a ministry at Hirsch Elementary
School that several members of IPC have been participat-
ing in for nearly 4 years. Every Tuesday and Wednesday
from 2:35 to 3:45 pm, volunteers have been tutoring stu-
dents who need extra help to succeed in school. There is
also a group of students from Irvington High School who
help tutor and receive community service hours.
Mrs. Casey, Hirsch‟s Principal, says that the students test
scores have also improved. The volunteer tutors find the
work rewarding as we see students gain understanding of
something that was puzzling to them. It‟s wonderful to
hear the students talk about their improved grades. Those
who were failing in one or more subjects are proud to show
us the great grades they now receive on tests or papers.
We have heard from former students that they are now
doing well with their schoolwork as a result
This year the Homework Club has been especially helpful
to the Hirsch teachers who have new responsibilities and
fewer prep periods as a result of the state budget cuts. We
now have 70 students from grades 1 through 6 attending
the club. Thanks to the IPC tutors Jeane Garrett, Carol
Lynn, Shirley Murray, and Thea Pex, who have given many
hours of their time to this ministry. Your hard work is great-
ly appreciated by the students, teachers and principal.
You have shared God‟s love in a wonderful way that will
make a difference in the lives of these children and in our
community.

Dan Nolan Kingman was called to the Kingdom of God on September 2, 2011. He was a valued
member of IPC where he served as Elder, Deacon and Facilities Manager.
Dan was preceded in death by his beloved wife Shuri Shen Kingman and
son Dan Jr. Kingman. His service in the U.S. Air Force was recognized by
an Honor Guard at a well-attended Memorial Service at IPC on September
10, 2011. Dan blessed many by using his beautiful voice to praise the Lord
in song. He is remembered for his upbeat songs in the Praise Group.
“It‟s Shouting Time in Heaven!”. Dan. We all miss you.
Anyone who trusts in Jesus Christ and has been baptized is welcome to partake of
the Lord‟s Supper in our church. It is a gift from God for us who do not deserve it,
but who gratefully receive his love and his cleansing power. We prepare to receive
the bread and cup by confessing our sins and doing our utmost to patch up any dif-
ferences with other people. At IPC we celebrate communion on the first Sunday
of each month, and on Thursday mornings at 7:30 am in the Sanctuary.

Anh began his ministry as Director of IPC Youth Ministries in August 2010. He has been affiliated with IPC since youth, through membership in Home of Christ 3. He credits his IPC appointment to Elder Ron Fong who recognized the value of Anh‟s commitment and passion to serve in our Youth Ministry. Anh believes: “It was God‟s divine plan for me to be here.” This past June, he formally
became a member of IPC; and concurrently, was ordained Elder At Large.
Anh values the autonomy he has when working with the youths at IPC. His focus, with the Lord leading, is on giving his charges the same opportunity he had to be free of sin, guilt and shame; and to replace these with grace, blessings, acceptance and baptism. His plan for leading youth groups is based on his interpretation of 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ‟s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ‟s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in
insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Anh credits his decision to form 12 Stones, the Youth Ministry group, to his beautiful wife, Eachan, whom he met and fell in love with while volunteering at a Youth Ministry. They both share the same love and joy for Christ and for ministering to youth. (12 Stones is so named for the 12 tribes of Israel that lay the foundations of the world today.) Anh states: “Eachan is an amazing person who hears God‟s calling and acts based on His teachings.” Anh and Eachan ministered 12 Stones on their own with 10 students and no church support for the first year. During the second year 12 Stones combined with IPC stu-dents to form the IPC Student Ministries. This combined group grew from a small fellowship and has now expanded “beyond expectations.” 12Stones Student Ministries now encompasses a Friday Night Fellowship, College Fellowship, and a Sunday Ser-vice. Three students from 12 Stones, Nick Look, Alex Chung and Mindy Lai committed to the Lord
by Baptism. This past summer Anh led the Restoration Service program, an evening youth service.
Anh‟s commitment and dedication are evident in the achievements of his 12 Stones Youth Group who conducted worship service on Sunday August 21. They led the congregation through a com-plete program of music and prayer, much to the delight of the congregation. He is looking forward
to future opportunities to lead worship when his group returns from college during holidays.
When asked how he came to be a Christian, Anh replied: “My story of how I came to Christ is a bit complex. I would love to tell you over a meal or cup of boba milk tea! I can tell you what Christ means to me now. He has made me happy with who and what I am because of His love for me and mine for Him. My focus is on
Him. I do everything because of Him”.
Anh discusses the love in his family: “My wife, Eachan, is my love. After 8 years of knowing my wife, the last 5 being married, our love for each other is stronger than ever. Our daughter, Charis Bella, is our life. God binds all three of us together. Being a witness to the birth of Charis was definitely a life changing experience. No words can ever describe the beauty and wonder God allows to be created between two people so much in love with
Christ and each other”.
